Women's Hockey Ties and Loses to U of M

The SCSU women’s hockey team tied and split with the University of Minnesota this past weekend.

On Friday SCSU’s Laura Kluge opened the scoring but was met by three unanswered goals by the Gophers. SCSU trailed 3-1 with three minutes left in the game but Kayla Friesen and Julia Tylke would score 30 seconds apart to force OT at 3-3. The Huskies would eventually win in a shootout and head into Saturday’s game full of confidence.

The Gophers had revenge on their minds for the second game of the series and tacked up five goals in the course of the game. Another strong effort from SCSU wasn’t enough as a few bounces wouldn’t go their way. Hallie Theodosopoulos and Hannah Potrykus scored for SCSU in the game, resulting in a 5-2 final.

The Huskies move to 6-18-5 overall and will travel to Bemidji this weekend to face against the Beavers
